A warm hello.
There’ll be a build up of energy as we head towards a solar eclipse (Tuesday morning).
When there’s a solar eclipse, the Sun and Moon are aligned in the same zodiac sign – in this case, the Zodiac Sign of Leo.   The planet Mars, which is also transiting Leo, will fire the energy even more.
What does this mean?
On the positive side, ambitious possibilities will unfold and there could be an important change somewhere in our lives.   On the challenging side, an emotional issue or stressful situation could come to a head.
When you’re out in nature, you really appreciate the rhythms of the Sun, Moon and how they influence life on Earth.   When you spend time near the water, the power of the eclipse is evident in accentuated high and low tides.
Wishing you joy,
Karen

Eclipses are notorious for bringing emotional issues to head, attitudinal shifts and important changes.
The energy of today’s lunar eclipse in Aquarius will linger through this week; it’ll be challenging to keep a clear perspective and to break new ground with expansive undertakings, discussions and new learning but going peacefully with stressful situations and being open to new ideas and doing things differently will bring dynamic turning points.
Wishing you joy,

These kind words are from St. Mother Teresa:
“Peace begins with a smile…
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

I posted this beautiful quote from Og Mandino a long time ago.
It is such a lovely one, one of my very favourites, I thought you might enjoy it again.
“I will greet this day with love in my heart.
And how will I do this?
Henceforth, I will look on all things with love and I will be born again.
I will love the sun for it warms my bones, yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.
I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart, yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul.”
Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.
The solstice can be a time of extremes and this week, as the Sun, then Mercury and the New Moon join Mars in Cancer; the vibe will be emotional.
Simmering issues and prickly differences will need gentle defusing and we’ll need to avoid the tendency to be oversensitive, defensive or to over-react.
Positively, there’ll be a powerful creative energy; it will take clear purpose to channel this into plans, goals and matters we feel passionately about but there should be exciting results.
Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.

When I was discussing astrology with one of my colleagues recently, he confided that he’d always been very sceptical until this was pointed out to him:

The Sun and Moon together exert a powerful magnetic force on water – it pulls great oceans to create the tides.   When you consider that the human body is largely water, he could understand how these energies might have a significant influence on us.

I would like to add a little story:
In a wonderful book, Supernature, that I read years ago, it describes an experiment that was done at the Hugh’s Aircraft Laboratories in California -

They decided to test the Moon’s influence on small bodies of water.

They didn’t choose a lake, a swimming pool, a bath – they chose a tea cup!

They measured, with very fine sensitive instruments, tides in a teacup!
​
Isn’t that amazing?
Wishing you joy,
Karen
